Chaos again in Ticino: Bellinzona has a coach puff – will FC Aarau benefit from it?

On the other hand, Sion boss Christian Constantin is a loyal soul: the real coach-eater is AC Bellinzona. Nine trainers since April 2022! And each departure is marked by arguments with the club’s strongman, Uruguayan businessman and player agent Pablo Bentancur.

The latest episode in the Bellinzona chaos is not (yet?) about a dismissal. There were even more reasons why Mario Rosas, who introduced the team from Ticino as the new head coach at the beginning of October, was not in the dugout last weekend during the 0-0 draw against Schaffhausen: the Spaniard does not have the necessary diplomas. Although he claims on social media to be the owner of the UEFA Pro license.

The association withdrew the A diploma again

According to “Corriere del Ticino”, the standard check that the Swiss Football Association carries out for every coaching appointment in the Super and Challenge League has shown that Rosas has neither the UEFA Pro license nor the A diploma. The latter is necessary to work as an assistant coach at a Swiss professional club. Rosas once had the A diploma, but that was taken away from him by the Spanish association.

What confuses the matter even more is that AC Bellinzona presented Rosas as head coach in a press release. However, against the SFV, Manuel Benavente, who was also newly recruited, was registered as head coach and Rosas as assistant. Could be a mistake. But the fact is: Rosas is also not allowed to be an assistant at Bellinzona.

A lump sum bankruptcy is by no means certain

And yet, in the debut victory on October 8 in Aarau (2-1), Rosas took over the role of head coach, stood on the sidelines and determined the player substitutions. At first glance it’s a bummer. But whether, as requested by the “Aargauer Zeitung”, there will be a lost victory for the FCA is more than doubtful: first of all because Aarau did not lodge a protest because he was (understandably) unaware of Rosa’s missing diplomas during the competition. day. And secondly, because there was a man on Bellinzona’s bench with Manuel Benavente at Brügglifeld who has the Uefa Pro license and was appointed by Bellinzona as head coach at the association.

The association is now investigating the matter and will decide on any disciplinary measures for the Ticino team. At AC Bellinzona they are calm, Bentancur’s son Pablito told the “Corriere del Ticino”: “The association has asked us to regulate our trainer’s licenses. He will be back soon.”

Real? It would be anything but surprising if it were soon announced that Bellinzona has a new head coach. The tenth in the last 18 months!
